This is down stream from Waterfall Glen. You might remember last year’s sketch in the springtime. With this sketch, I tried to get layer upon layer of watercolor distant trees to convey depth…

Noodler's flex pen and watercolor... Our old cabin is surrounded by walnut trees; for years I'd watched the woodpeckers build their homes above my head, knowing that they'd hollowed out the tree beside the deck. This winter, our howling winds took out the top of this one, and I dragged it up onto the deck to sketch. This particular nest had two entries...the one near the bottom of the photo probably led to another hollow like the one between these two... Our friends were out cutting wood--another tree that had fallen near the cabin--and Joseph was fixing the broken window, so I sat on the deck and sketched.
Here’s a selection of recent work from my ever-expanding collection of sketchbooks of various shapes & sizes, together with some recent demo and workshop pieces…Some are very quick…

Argentinian Artist and photographer Jorge Royan, recently passed away, we only found out after we started writing this post. Amongst his talents the one we focused on was his travel Doodles or sketches, that he collected on his JR Sketches blog. He travelled extensively around the world documenting with photographs, drawings and travel diaries, not only the places he visited, but the people and and their habits. The sketches we chose were from scenes he observed in Vietnam and France. The simple sketches and the soft colours he uses really help to add character to these images. Enjoy...

This will just be a quick post to share some of the sketches I did on a recent trip to Yellowstone National Park. Since the bison has just become the official national mammal, this one is a good place to start. Bison are one of my favorite animals to sketch. Springtime in Yellowstone wouldn't be complete without a few snow showers .... and sometimes a real snow storm. This year we saw less snow than usual, but many more wildflowers. Northern flickers can look quite drab, but when they flare their tail or wings, they have bright flashes of orange. When we first arrived the aspen hadn't leafed out yet. The bare branches gave us lots of opportunity to watch two pairs of flickers deciding just where their territorial boundaries were going to be. This is one of my favorite sketches from the trip. Its wildlife is simple -- a chipmunk -- but it comes from a spot where we frequently listen for birds in the early morning, or use as a lunch spot. One of my big reasons for keeping a sketchbook is capturing the memories. Sandhill cranes are such elegant birds. And here is one of my favorite subjects: an aspen trunk scarred when a bear climbed the tree years ago. Three great horned owlets are crowed onto a rock ledge way above the Lamar River. A red-tailed hawk first used this ledge. This year, the owls have it. While I was sketching a thunderstorm rolled in and I had to scurry into the car. We saw no sign of the adult until the thunder and lightening started. I'm not sure whether the adult flew back to the nest or had been hidden in the dark recesses of the crevice. A pair of osprey are just startling a new nest. Often they use the same nest from one year to the next. There was another nest nearby last year, but the tree fell over. I suspect it is the same pair building this nest. This is just a peek at what I've been up too. I also brought home a lot of unfinished sketches and the raw material for some blog posts.
The summer is almost over and I realize that my sketches are long overdue from the workshop that Marc Holmes and I held in Old Montreal at the beginning of August. We spent most of the week prior worrrying that it might rain on our parade, but fortunately the downpour held off until the very […]
Yesterday, at lunch, the Spring Island Landscape Ecologist, whom I share office space with, asked me if I'd like to see one of our resident's garden.... I grabbed my sketch bag before he even finished his sentence :) We were only there for 30 minutes, 20 of which I painted like a mad woman :) Once back at the office, I added the lettering and little Otto. I hope to return back to this garden in a few weeks. Autumn is a splendid time for blooming wildflowers and Ann's garden is loaded with native wildflowers. She has one small butterfly garden area that contains some non-natives... thus the Mexican Cosmos.. but otherwise it's filled with wonderful grasses and every type of wildflower you can imagine. This is one of the gardens that Spring Island's Native Plant Project features for garden club tours. Our next Native Plant Sale is October 20th. If you are in the lowcountry area of South Carolina, do stop by. The island is open to the public that day!
